Sell a House Fast for Cash
There are several reasons you might want to sell a house during peak season. Families often want to move into their new home during the summer, so kids can get started in a new schools and adults can get situated in new jobs.
Another reason involves your landscaping. Trees, shrubs and other perennials look their best in the spring and summer months, making your home look more inviting to potential buyers driving through the neighborhood and looking at photos online.
In good weather it’s easier to move excess furniture and personal belongings out of the house and into a storage shed or commercial storage unit when you’re decluttering. Minimizing your household items maximizes the appearance of your house and yard.
On the other hand, there’s almost always a lot more real estate competition in the spring and summer. Real estate agents advise their sellers to list in April or May, at the latest, so the local multiple listing services usually have a lot to offer throughout the summer months.
What If You Don’t Sell A House By October?
Even though the peak season has passed, it’s possible to sell a house throughout the fall, and into the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holiday season.
“According to Zillow research, 23 percent fewer homes are sold in winter than in spring, and homes listed for sale in the winter stay on the market about five days longer compared to the yearly average time on the market, from listing to closing.”
While you, as a seller, might not want to be bothered with real estate showings and the interruption of a sale transaction involving back-and-forth negotiations suring the holiday season, buyers are still out there looking for new homes. For some people who are in the mood to shop, looking at homes for sale is just another part of their holiday activities.
Remember, calling a real estate agent who will line up appointments at several lovely, professionally decorated homes on the market is easy to do. People are not shy about looking at homes for their own enjoyment, and unless you choose to provide holiday hospitality whenever an agent calls to set up a showing you might prefer to take your home off the market between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many sellers make that choice.
Easy Home Sales With No Showings
Other sellers make the choice to sell a house before, during or after peak season with no hassles, no showings and no long waits for buyer financing to be approved. They manage to achieve easy home sales by calling a professional home buyer instead.
